| Two women meant to be apart and the rebellious curiosity that drags their forbidden worlds together. Evelina Moss, a burgeoning alchemist, seeks safety in Vampire Alley when an innocent errand destroys her life. Pepper, freshly turned, sells glamour to earn her place while her big sister and old life slip away. Since she was a girl, Eve had dreams of becoming an alchemist. But the world itself seemed to try and rip it from her hands. The vampire attack that killed her classmate during their college induction was only the beginning. Following rules as much as she bends them, Evelina is shocked by what the alley holds. And though Pepper recognizes their brief contact as transactional and nothing more, this small event would bind their futures in ways they could not imagine. The systems Evelina flourishes within are being used to saddle her with murder. And as Pepper is linked to the pending regional collapse, they come together to face the ire of the Alley Counsel and the bloody pursuit from law enforcement. They are the people capable of hurting the other the most… and their only hope to survive. While alchemists pour their lives into their craft, vampires trade in rumor and illusion. Now that their futures are shattered, they must decide what to make with the pieces. Can an alchemist put together a vampire’s broken heart — even as she embraces the dark to protect them? This is a dark, tender, and sweet lesbian vampire romantasy featuring slow-burn chemistry, found family, grief, self-discovery, and opposites attract. An emotionally-saturated story for 18+ readers. |
